If you see this, QTP with a movie from the year you were born 🎥 #filmsky #promosky #movies

Diane Keaton shortly have won the Oscar for REDS. I believe that was her greatest performance. RIP to a great one. 📽️🎥🎬

@silentbeauties.bsky.social you would have loved being in my classroom with my fill class today. The students’ assignment is to watch a movie by Chaplin, Keaton, or Lloyd (one I haven’t shown) & break down a gag from start to payoff. Lots of laughter as they sat in little groups 1/2

I’m thinking now’s a good time for a Criterion flash sale 🎥🎬📽️

@markcousinsfilm.bsky.social I was just watching your interview with Claudia Cardinale on The Story of Fool just a couple of days ago. So glad you were able to get her insights on Visconti and Felloni and Leone. RIP to a great one.

Got my COVID shot. Thank you, state of California, for being in my corner!

I’ve never liked How the West Was Won, but man I would love to see it on a Cinerama-type screen. 🎥🎬📽️

It’s that time of year when I begin the short story unit with my sophomores. And when I start, I always show episodes of The Twilight Zone, just to show things like structure and whatnot. 3 different classes, 3 different episodes. 1/

Enough already. FFS. 🎬🎥📽️

This is bullshit, #WNBA. This game should be played in Oakland.

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social I am glad this account exists. I’m still peeved about these two.

This is very cool and I am glad I helped contribute. When I was in DC for a week last month CitiBike was how I got around. A great town for biking, that’s for damn sure!

Talking about aspect ratio in my film class this afternoon. I showed this selection from Lawrence of Arabia. When the cut went from blown-out match to sunrise a couple of my students gasped. Anne V. Coates FTW. #filmsky 🎥🎬📽️

This is a damn shame about the Edinburgh Castle. Had some good times there back in the 90s. I even once took second place there in a Sean Connery Impression contest.

Some states are so fucking weird. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Year 24 at Berkeley High, Year 27 as a professional teacher. And I’m still digging my job!

If and when you do tomorrow’s NYT Crossword, just know that 55 Across is pretty damn funny.

Certainly the Spelling Bee guy knows a lot of English majors play this game

Why do whiteMillennial parents give their children last names for first names (e.g. Paxton, Bryson)? Or, for that matter, occupations as first names (Cooper, Hunter)? TBH, I half-expected to see a lot of girls named Khaleesi at this point.

@shamlet.bsky.social Question for you - which edition of Hamlet do you prefer, the 2nd Quarto or the Folio?

Was Tr*mp inspired by Jackie Treehorn’s artwork here? It sure…seems that way

Really important piece here that everyone - not just my colleagues - should read. Wowsa.

I had the great privilege last week of attending the Folger Shakespeare Library’s Summer Teacher Academy. Got to study Macbeth, perform a little bit of Macbeth, and do some research in their archives. In this picture I’m touching a page of an actual 2nd Folio

Yes! It’s about damn time the word “weird” came back!

I’ve never really gotten over being stuck on the bridge with 800,000 of my closest friends. 38 years later I still avoid big crowds as much as I can.

#PoemADayJuly Day 3, “When Giving Is All We Have” by Alberto Rios (Or, Green Returns)

I feel like Leader Jeffries to do a few James Brown feints/moves now - act like he’s too tired to continue, take a step to the right, and then get back to that microphone and do another set for three hours.
